Eight women triple jump finalists at the 1986 Big Ten Track and Field Championships and 10 women triple jump finalists at the 1986 National Track and Field Competition were filmed during competition. Among selected kinematic characteristics, the following high correlations (r greater than 0.70) were found: the distance of the hop phase correlated highly with the total jump distance; the horizontal position of the center of gravity of the body in relation to the support foot at takeoff correlated highly with the distance of the hop and the jump phases; the horizontal velocity into the step phase correlated highly with the total distance of the jump; the vertical velocity into the hop and step phases correlated highly with the respective phase distance; and there was an inverse correlation between the maximum height of the center of gravity during the flight phase of the step and the total distance. A significant difference was found between men and women triple jumpers in relation to the contribution of the step phase to the total distance of the jump (men, means = 29.5, SD = 1.46; women, means = 26.7, SD = 2.94; P less than 0.05). All remaining relationships among the kinematic variables studied were found to be not significant at P less than 0.05 or were less than r = 0.70. The phase ratios of current women triple jumpers were similar to ratios that have been reported for the novice athlete.
Seven elite national Jordanian weightlifters were videoed at 50 fields per second from the sagittal plane during the execution of the clean and jerk (C&J) on an AMTI force platform with 3 weights of submaximal lifts; low medium and high weights (35%, 65%, 85%) of their maximum. Linear and angular kinematics of the barbell with the ground reaction forces histories of the lower body were analysed using Kinova & APAS. A significant decrease was found in the maximum vertical velocity of the barbell during the second pull of the heaviest lift (p < 0.05). Maximum extension velocity of the hip joint significantly increased during the first pull of the heaviest lift (p < 0.05). Vertical velocity and maximum bar height decreased during the second pull, especially at 85%. Angle-angle diagrams of the knee and hip profile showed major differences among participants, especially at the 85% lift of their maximum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
